Launched in 1996 by Chanel and crafted by Jacques Polge, Allure is one of the perfumer's signature creations for the house. Built around a six-facet concept (fresh, floral, fruity, woody, oriental, spicy), this fragrance was designed to be broadly wearable across various occasions while maintaining its luxury appeal. The opening notes of lemon and mandarin orange give way to a heart of jasmine and peony, while vanilla and sandalwood anchor the base with warmth and depth.
